The United States has authorized a new $275 million aid package for Ukraine to address “critical security and defense needs,” according to the Department of Defense (DOD).

This is the Biden administration’s 27th presidential drawdown of equipment from DOD stocks for Ukraine since August 2021 and comes a little more than two weeks since the White House announced another $400 million drawdown.
